Brand new and 100% authentic English Language manga from VIZ Books! Ranma 1/2 2-in-1 Edition 9 collects volumes 17-18 and features story and art by Rumiko Takahashi. Meet Picolet Chardin II, master of the très terrifying "La Belle France School of Martial-Arts Dining." It turns out that Ranma's and Akane's fathers - as they've been known to do, once or twice - have promised one of their children in exchange for a debt, and now that debt's come due. If Ranma can't defeat Picolet at his own game, it'd be more than "La Belle France" - it'd be wedding bells!
